How do I contact the shelter about Kurzi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ahlen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kurzi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kurzi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ahlen will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Kurzi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Kurzi isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Ahlen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kurzi and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Kurzi

Female · Kitten · 2 months

Schlotterbeck, Kurzi, Fauchi & Paula are four little furry friends looking for their forever home 🐾 Names: Schlotterbeck, Kurzi, Fauchi & Paula Breed: EKH Born: Schlotterbeck & Kurzi: May 14, 2026 | Fauchi & Paula: May 5, 2026 Gender: 2 male, 2 female Neutered: No Our four kittens are currently living in a loving foster home and are now ready to find their own families. Each of the four has its very own character: Schlotterbeck is a curious little explorer who loves playing with his ball. Kurzi brings good mood with her short tail and cheerful nature, and is full of energy. Paula is a real cuddly cat who loves petting above all else. Fauchi, on the other hand, is still a bit shy and needs people to show him with patience and understanding that the world isn't so scary after all. All four have in common that they are playful, curious and full of energy at an age-appropriate level. They look forward to a home where they can grow up carefree. The kittens will only be placed together or with same-age playmates so they continue to have a suitable feline friend by their side.

About Kurzi

What life with Kurzi looks like

Kurzi is a small puppy/kitten cat waiting at Tierheim Ahlen in Ahlen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
